Join us in extending a warm welcome to three talented professionals, each bringing a wealth of experience and expertise in road safety, transport research, and data-driven insights, to our growing team.
Nathan has been working in road transport consultancy since 2020, focussing on communicating actionable insight from data for clients both in the UK and internationally.
He has led and contributed to a wide variety of projects including the multi-million-pound HelmUK project (the UK’s first on-road platooning trials) and the design and implementation of a model simulating the impact of safety measures on KSIs for National Highways’ Roads to Zero Harm project.
Nathan has experience of manipulating and analysing a wide range of road transport datasets, including the UK’s STATS19 road collision database, using tools such as SQL, R and Excel.
A competent communicator with a background in education, Nathan excels at presenting technical ideas to different audiences. He has a first-class Masters’ Degree in Mathematics from the University of Oxford.
With over a decade of experience in road safety and transport research, Scott has contributed to major projects influencing national policies. Beginning as a Research Assistant, he participated in studies that informed the National Highway’s road lighting policy and helped shape the DVSA’s hazard perception test.
During his PhD, Scott examined how factors like distraction and passenger presence impact drivers’ hazard perception and collision risk, which included an internship with the Transport Research Laboratory, allowing him to explore hazard perception differences between human drivers and autonomous vehicle capabilities.
Before joining Agilysis, Scott worked with the Department for Transport as a Statistician, applying his expertise to national transportation challenges. Enthusiastic about Road Safety, he is keen to continue advancing our sector through data-driven insights and practical solutions.
